Technology Transfer

National Metallurgical Laboratory (CSIR)

@

sferCommercialisation stages

1. Technology Push-in/Pull-out

2. Strategy

3. Licensing out:Final Phase

Incoming……(Push-in/Pull-out)

• Build Publicity: – Website, Seminar/Conf/PPT’s

• Query Handling: – Hard-communication; Emails & Website

• Feasibility Studies: – Technical– Economic

Strategy……

• Negotiation – Costing of Process/Product – Revenue sharing, IP sharing

• Licensing Agreement Signing-Transfer of Know-How– Modes (Exclusive/Nonexclusive/Sole)– Effective date, duration and termination of the agreement – Arbitration

• Secrecy Agreement Signing– Supply scientific and technical data relating to the KNOW-HOW – Price payable – Maintain strict confidentiality and to prevent disclosure of the INFORMATION.– Client shall not file any application in its own name or in the name of its associates – Client shall not also oppose any KNOW-HOW filed by the NML.– Client’s obligations with respect to the secrecy:Written Records/Public domain

Licensing-Out Final Phase

• Demo of Technology at Proposed Scale of Transfer• LAB SCALE, PILOT SCALE

• Consultancy as per Agreement• Support after Implementation• Extension/Modifications/Improvements of agreement

Modes of Technology Transfer

• Know-How Transfer: Development of biphasic calcium phosphate

• Collaborative: Formulation of know-how into bone graft substitute

• Spin-Off: Production of Scaffold for Tissue Engineering

Nanosized Hydroxyapatite at room temperature

•Size: 30-40nm•Basic biocompatibility

studies done•Shows superior cell interaction•Being commercially produced

Technology Value:5.0L

Royalty :7.5%

Main ProblemHow to develop a scaffolds for irregular & small

fractures?

Injectable scaffold:

A possibility……..

Technology on SPIN-OFF pattern signed for Eye-Scaffold

Technology on SPIN-OFF pattern signed for Ferrofluids

Etc……….

Thank you
